Help solve an interoffice debate.. Can *any* Upright Sprinkler Head be installed to a dry system, despite its listing?
I am reading the below as the *Orientation* of the head is allowed, but does not speak to the use or listing of the head. 7.2.2 Sprinklers. The following sprinkler *orientations* and arrangements shall be permitted for dry pipe systems: - (1) Upright sprinklers - (2)* <https://link.nfpa.org/publications/13/2016/annexes/A/groups/7#ID000130005486> Listed dry sprinklers - (3) Pendent sprinklers and sidewall sprinklers installed on return bends, where the sprinklers, return bend, and branch line piping are in an area maintained at or above 40°F (4°C) - (4) Horizontal sidewall sprinklers installed so that water is not trapped - (5) Pendent sprinklers and sidewall sprinklers, where the sprinklers and branch line piping are in an area maintained at or above 40°F (4°C), the water supply is potable, and the piping for the dry pipe system is copper or CPVC specifically listed for dry pipe applications -- Peter Googins NFPA Fire & Life Safety Plan Reviewer Permitting & Inspections 389 Congress St, Portland, ME 04101 Direct: 207-874-8706 Permitting & Inspections Main Phone: 207-874-8703 Fire Prevention Bureau Main Phone: 207-874-8400 E-Mail: [email protected] Get your free access to NFPA 101 Life Safety Code Today! <https://www.nfpa.org/codes-and-standards/all-codes-and-standards/list-of-codes-and-standards/detail?code=101&tab=related> -- Notice: Under Maine law, documents - including e-mails - in the possession of public officials or city employees about government business may be classified as public records.
